Me and 23 others are interested in being one of your participants. 15 dollars a day sounds like a bargain
Hi I'm Zinbardo and I want to test some psychological effects on you! you'll be paid.
Zinbardo made an experiment at Stanford University where he aimed to test the psychological effect of becoming a prisoner or prison guard and how authority affects a person.
Горка: 2
Day 1
oh no
I'm the guard and you're the prisoner. You will have to listen to me from now on
The guards were then allowed to make up prison rules. The guards made the prisoners do press-ups as punishments and the prisoners were stripped of their identity and were given gowns with numbers on it.
Горка: 3
Day 2
i want to leave
You disobeyed my orders! You will stay in here until I say so!
Ring leaders that disobeyed orders from the 'guards' were put into solitary confinement. They would only be allowed to stand up or crouch in this box as the box was too small to sit down in and was there for about two days
Горка: 4
Day 3 and 4
If you do not listen to me then you will get a beating!
On the third and fourth day the guards became more violent and more extreme. They would refuse to let prisoners out of the cells. One of the guards soon became known as 'John Wayne' due to his violence and brutality towards the prisoners. One prisoner even showed extreme signs of anxiety however he was not allowed to leave and he began to act crazy.
Горка: 5
Day 5
clean it well
On the fifth day, the guards made prisoners clean toilets with their bare hands and do hard labour.At night they would also sexually humiliate the prisoners when they weren't looking.
Горка: 6
Day 6
What you are condoning is unacceptable. You are not the man I thought you were. Stop this immediately or I will leave you forever!
Day six would eventually turn out to be the last day of Zimbardo's experiment.This is because the power of the guards was almost total and the prisoners obeyed their orders without question.Zimbardo's girlfriend and postgraduate psychologist objected strongly and convinced him and the other researchers to stop the study .The study was annulled.
